Beschreibung

This exquisite, exceptionally rare, folio hand-colored lithograph is from Pierre-Joseph Redoute's "Collection de beaux bouquets lithographià s par divers artistes dâ apres les meilleurs peintres de fleurs". The work was published in Paris by de la Rue and London by Gambart between 1850 and 1855. The illustrations were completed by Redoute and lithographed by Grobon Frà res and A. Prà vost. --- "There is no other bibliographical record of this book. That plates are no copies of those that appear in any other Redoutà work." (Great Flower Books) The work is exceedingly hard to find, with limited publication information, and likely one of the last publications in Redoute's lifetime. --- Redoute's name is synonymous with beauty and in the world of botanical art he is known as the best. Redoute was renowned for his artistic ability and tutored such people as Queen Marie-Antoinette, Empress Josephine, Marie-Louise, and Queen Marie-Amelie. Redoute influenced a breadth of artists that followed him including Turpin, Poiteau, Bessa, and Prevost. Redoute is widely considered the finest botanical illustrator of the early 19th century, if not throughout history. --- The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor imperfections or faint marks to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions. --- Paper Size ~ 16 1/4" by 22 1/4".
